Cat Facts Prank App

The Reddit Cat Facts Prank Is Now an Amazing App

Cat Bot: "Please let us know you are human to cancel by completing the following sentence: Your favorite animal is the [blank]."

Cousin: "Dog."

Cat Bot: "INCORRECT. Your favorite animal is the cat. You will continue to receive Cat Facts every hour."
